ROGERS’ BISCO® SILICONES – PERFORMANCE TO THE EXTREME

Whether your design calls for high performance sealing, cushioning or protection - the BISCO Silicones broad portfolio of material options will provide the best design solution for your application.

Our materials are resistant to temperature extremes, UV and ozone, and are extremely resilient to mechanical fatigue. BISCO Silicone materi-als exhibit excellent compression set and creep resistance, and carry the most stringent UL flame ratings available.

WHY CHOOSE BISCO SILICONES? BISCO Silicones are a full line of cellular, solid and specialty materials produced in roll-stock to be fabricated into gaskets, heat shields, fire stops, seals, cushions and insulation for a wide variety of applications.

BISCO Silicone Materials offer… • Superior flame resistance • Low flame, smoke and toxicity upon combustion • Excellent performance at extreme temperatures • Superior resistance to compression set and creep

CELLULAR SILICONES

Available in a wide range of firmnesses, BISCO Cellular Silicones are ideal for seal-ing, cushioning, vibration isolation and insulation.

• Open and closed-cell offerings available • Withstand temperatures from -55°C up to 200°C (-67°F to 392°F). • Unsurpassed compression-set resistance for excellent long-term sealing • Pass stringent smoke and toxicity regulations • Meets the most stringent UL-94 flame ratings available, V-0 and HF-1

SOLID SILICONES

BISCO Solid Silicone materials are designed for high temperature/high pressure gasketing applications. They are available in a range of thicknesses and durometers, offering flexibility in materials selection. Grades are also available with fiberglass reinforcement for added dimensional stability and increased tear strength.

General Purpose Solids: • Range of durometers from 40-70 Shore A

• Grades available with fiberglass reinforcement for added dimensional sta-bility and increased tear strength

Performance Solids: • Range of durometers from 10-40 Shore A • Tight tolerances and softness, ideal for demanding sealing applications

SPECIALTY SILICONES

BISCO Specialty Silicone products are designed to meet specific industry needs.

All of our specialty materials can withstand extreme temperatures and meet strin-gent industry flame tests.

Materials Include: • Acoustic barriers • Patented fire blocking material • Silicone coated fiberglass cloth • Silicone foam combined with fabrics
